About 2 years ago I had multiple retina detachments to my right eye which left me functionally blind in it. I am now having similar problems with my left eye. I have parstonitis (sp?) a heriditary inflammatory condition of the eyes which caused the initial retinal detachment. This obviously has me worried about blindness. I am an RN in an Emergency Room, which I could not do if I was blind. What sort of careers in nursing could I do if I couldn't see?
